The search has concluded for a high-quality, high value cycling jersey with the look and feel of garments twice its price. Andare comes to the United States hailing from afar with european fabrics and Californian design, which indicated its individuality among apparel manufacturers in the industry as well as its durability on the road. Step your game up with simplicity.

These jerseys are a terrific value. Good fabrics, feature-laden (4th water resistant zippered pocket, full zip, mesh side and back panels, elasticized bottom hem with silicone grippers, reflective inserts on front and back), good close "race" fit, well-constructed, nice conservative look. The claim that they compare favorably with jerseys twice the price is quite legit, maybe even conservative. My two criticisms are that I would like the sleeves to be slightly longer and, like many full zip jerseys (including some of my expensive Castellis), the zipper can "bunch" or "crinkle" a bit at the stomach in riding position. While temperature range can be a pretty personal thing, I find these to be comfortable from the low 60's (with arm warmers) to high 70's F. In other words, 6 months of the year here in the Bay Area. On days when it's going to get over 80, I might go with one of my lighter options to maximize comfort, but these would certainly do the job. I am 5'10, 155lb (38R in a suit) and a medium fits me well: close, even snug, but not uncomfortably tight (similar to a Castelli large in race fit). I ended up buying two, one black, one red.
